Mine's the garage. I'll have to post up pics within the next few days since I've never actually taken pics of it before! :)

The garage belongs to the in-laws, they're just letting me put it in the side they arent using. It was built in the 70s and as you can tell, it leaks like a pasta strainer, hence the tarp. One more Oklahoma ice storm and I think she may cave in lol.....also pictured is my almost barren tool chest.

EDIT: Sorry the pics didn't show up, I moved 'em and it screwed 'em up.

Technically, my entire house is my man cave since I currently live alone.

However, my garages are my true caves. I have two two car garages. One is attached to the house. I keep my Nova and my S10 in there along with a healthy selection of tools.

My second garage in my back yard. That's a slightly extended 2 bay, 24x24, that houses my disassembled Square Body. My motorcycle sits in there during the riding months when it's not out on the road, as well. In the winter, the bike goes to the shed.

these pics were taken during the initial cleanup and moving in process. we're in the middle of one right now to get my roommates S10 into the back 20 x 30 section. i'll get some more pics once we get all re-situated.

I like the oil pit, way cheaper than buying a lift.

A few more questions GreaseDog, is the whole building cinderblock construction? And do you have any idea how they kept water from seaping into the pit from the ground?

Not me. My house keeping skills aren't exactly up to OSHA standards. I don't think it would take very long before the shop bathroom got to the point where I wouldn't want to use it and cleaning would barely enter my mind. Before you know it, it'd have to be burned for environmental reasons.

yes, it is cinderblock throughout. as for keeping water out of the pits (i have one in the garage attached to the house too, as do my neighbors), i have no idea what they used to keep the water out. all 4 of them seem to be pretty water free though.
